Enjoy Spies!
40 years ago, Roger Moore wrapped up his James Bond career with the 14th movie in the franchise, A View to a Kill. He was up against Christopher Walken’s psychotic billionaire Max Zorin who was going to “Lex Luthor” Silicon Valley so he could be more of a billionaire. 30 years ago Pierce Brosnan debuted his Bond in Goldeneye as he went up against a rogue agent played by Sean Bean. Both films have their strengths, and of course a few parts that are full of more hot air than Max Zorin’s blimp. But we love to watch them anyway.
Then we assess the non-Bond secret agents in a tournament to crown the Spycraft General! Maxwell Smart to Ethan Hunt. Jason Bourne to Austin Powers. Who will diffuse the bomb at the last second and take home the microchip?
Who is your favorite spy? Which Bond is your go-to secret agent? First person that emails me with the subject line, “Shaken and definitely stirred” will get a special mention on the show. Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com
